Must have been a very naughty boy. Cut your losses and sell it. You'll struggle to insure it when you get your licence back. Unless your minted!

Or buy a trailer for it, strip it out and turn into a dedicated track car. At least you can drive it on weekends!

Drink driving a second time? Either way get rid of it, the way they lose money it will be worth peanuts when you can drive again

Dangerous driving?? Stick it in the garage and spend 5 years cleaning it. When your bans up you'll have a showcar


How long is 2 2/1 years? 4?

No way you'd get a 5 year for dangerous driving unless there were fatalities. Gotta be 2-3 drink driving conviction I'd of thought

Sorry mate, but I think it was a mistake coming on here and even mentioning your ban. I think you know the answer is to sell the car, it'll be worth **** all in 5 or even 2.5 years time. Plough the money into a nice mountain bike.

Your bans must have been pretty close together for it to be up to 5 years.

I've been banned twice, sounds bad when you say it like that but they were 10 years apart and my last one was up 6 years ago

Very lucky not to be sent down I thought they can lock you up for that sort of thing, as said above look on the bright side and get a really good mountain bike and get fit.


Oh and stop drinking

I wasnt judging you mate, just commenting on your mentioning the ban. It makes no difference. I would sell really, every day you keep it you will be losing out.

Get it looking top drawer and sell. Keeping a car sitting for 5 years then trying to put it through an mot might be hard. Perished bushes, seals and what not.

Dont let it go for less than its worth though just 'caus you cant use it. Its these kind of circumstances that bring the price of Subarus down. Everyone else thats selling up have to think about lowering their price just to compete

3 post and your first was to tell us youve been banned! not the best 'hello' in the world.

what car is it youve got...classic or newage. i think ide sell up mate,as above i very much doubt you'de get insurance on a scooby again anytime soon. in todays market ide say breaking it would be best to redeem the money youve put into it.

any pics of your car (providing this is a genuine thread), lots of people come on here talking bollocks.

Without a doubt sell it, a vehicle unused for 5 years is a complete waste and depreciation will kill the car.

I suggest forgetting about any car for a very long time, invest your money in some other hobby - have you looked at mountain biking? some people on here obsess about their bikes more than their cars and plenty of opportunities to mod them

Im sure you dont need the lecture but 3rd ban says maybe you'll never learn? stick to the ban and dont be tempted to drive while disqualified, the penalties are not worth it!

good luck getting through it

you must sell it. cars need to be driven.
youre in the best position as you dont need to sell so you could get top dollar.

pour the monies into a house or take your missus away somewhere nice.

either way if you keep it will just sit there and rot and waste your hard earned.

sell it a.s.a.p.

Sell it.

Then put the money in a bank account for 3 - 5 years, when you get your license back you'll be able to probably afford two the rate they're dropping at the moment

Good luck, DCI

Well do not post about your obviously serious lapses of judgement on a public BBS then. You chose to do what you did 3 times by the sound of it so accept that some people will find this wrong.

Sell it and get some help/therapy as you have a problem by the sound of it.

Try to learn from your mistakes in future and remember once is a mistake, twice maybe, after that it is plain old stupidity!
